EGG is a searing Y2K-era cocktail of creature features, body horror, psychological thrillers and vaporwave aesthetics. This surreal effort by the highly prolific Yukihiko Tsutsumi (2LDK, FORBIDDEN SIREN) deconstructs sensitive themes such as women's traditional roles in society while also fully delivering on the promise of alien creepazoids.
Tsukiko lives a mundane existence revolving around her inscrutable tech office job. One day while on her way to work, she closes her eyes and a mysterious giant egg appears in what’d otherwise be the darkness of her eyelids. The egg soon hatches, unleashing with it memories of suppressed trauma as a hideous arthropod monster develops a tormented relationship with Tsukiko each time she dares to shut out the light.
